Also, instead of writing "somnolence", write "drowsiness". Please enable people to understand this article.
I belive that it is also available under the drug name "Primperan".
Viscouse sez: isn't this drug used to help or increase the production of breastmilk? I don't know what the conenction is, but if anyone can put a blurp on that & why, that would help.
[edit] Metoclopramide & Milk fetishism
New User:Anon! added Milk fetishism to a number of articles on drugs or herbal products used to induce lactation for this fetishism. I initially revert the addition of this link on Metoclopramide as being nonsense, and this has be re-inserted. To be fair (WP:AGF) metoclopramide may well be so used, but it is clearly off-label use - which normally is a term used for drugs being prescribed by a doctor for other uses than that licensed, rather than illegally obtaining prescription drugs without a prescription for alternative uses. I am sure many drugs are off-label used by patients obtaining through on-line pharmacies without prescription/medical advice, but does this mean all such (mis-)uses need be included as significant 'See also' links in articles on wikipedia ? Remember whilst significant minority viewpoints must be included under WP:NPOV, trivial minority views do not. I should welcome some input from others on this.

- I agree with the excision and have removed the see also. There are hundreds of potential see also links for this medication and I don't think that milk fetishism is more noteworthy than most. See also links contribute to clutter in articles and should be avoided in favor of seamless discussion within the body text. InvictaHOG 03:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
